The core of the army was composed of Uttarapathian warriors, from central and western India. Uttarapatha had many militaristic peoples – like the Kambojas, Yavanas, Sakas and Vardas. Other peoples in the Mauryan army were the Maghadas, Assamese, and Cheras. Even the Nagas (literally serpents, because they worshiped cobras), a mystical people to the east, were incorporated into the army.

Yavanas are not exactly from the sub continent. Cheras are from deep south, they had nothing to do with Mauryan Army, as they were one of the 3 independent kingdoms in those times.
